The parish church of St. Quintin is regarded as the oldest parish church in Mainz (it is mentioned in a document from 774). It is a late Gothic hall church that was built between 1288 and 1330.
Its tower was built in 1489 and also housed a tower keeper's apartment. Today, it holds four bells (including the oldest bell in Mainz, the so-called "Lumpenglöckchen," a bee basket bell from around 1250).
Saint Quintin is depicted as an oversized statue on the left side of the high altar - he is the patron saint of prisoners. On the right side of the high altar stands Saint Blaise, the second patron of our church. The left side altar depicts the holy apostle Judas Thaddeus, to whose image of grace many people pilgrimage (especially on his feast day, October 28). He is invoked as a helper in particularly desperate situations - on the altar lies a large book of intercessions, where numerous believers and visitors write down their worries and needs, as well as their gratitude.
Behind this altar is the cross chapel. There is an old cross there, which seemingly shows the crucified Jesus with a smile on his lips (the figure likely dates from the early 15th century).
